As we step into the new year, it’s a great time to breathe fresh life into our living spaces. Whether you’re aiming for a complete overhaul or just a subtle update, here are some expert tips to help you refresh your interior spaces.

Declutter and Reevaluate

Reflect on how you used your home in the past year. Identify areas that were underused or items you no longer need. Consider decluttering and reorganizing to make your home work better for you in the coming months. Our 30-day decluttering challenge can guide you through this process, breaking it down into manageable tasks each day.
